    But they are because they are best weapons to hurt back when you've been hurt in the first place:(

    I do feel very sorry for those parents who have to deal with a total change to their lives as a result of an affair. Whether it is the pwc who is given no choice but to see less of her children at week-ends because the father decided to play happy family with another woman. That hurts massively. Or the father who is being kicked out of his house and is told he can only sees his children when it suits whilst being dried financially.
    It is hard when you are constantly pushed to the limit.

    Believe me, I know the hurt an affair causes. However, kids should never be brought into anything regardless of who is to "blame". Even though my kids were older when my ex legged it with another woman, never once did I "bad mouth" him to them, and wouldn't let the kids do it about him in my hearing either.
